Lazurite
by Su5eD
Players who run Fabric-based rendering mods alongside Embeddium on Forge need Lazurite, which adds Fabric Rendering API support to that setup.
What it does
Lazurite provides support for the Fabric Rendering API on Forge, which Embeddium does not implement directly. Many mods that use advanced rendering effects depend on this API, and without it some of them show broken textures or models. Lazurite is built on Indigo, the reference implementation that ships with Fabric API, and is a port of Indium by comp500.
Installation requires Embeddium and Forgified Fabric API alongside Lazurite. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and it is incompatible with Indium. The files target 1.20.1 for Forge, with 1.0.4 as the latest file, published on 2024-03-26 under the Apache License 2.0 and open source.
Mods that use the Fabric Rendering API are the main reason to install it alongside Embeddium. Lazurite does not add a speed gain over Embeddium alone, and the Fabric-based mods themselves may affect frame rate.
